12 is a good figure. I knew that the Hal Higdon schedule called for 12 in the 'novice' / get-you-round plans, and assumed this was a bit more for the level above. If he has 12 there too, then stick with 12. The stuff I've read says that long runs in this final period don't have any training benefit that has time to kick in for the race. You're just maintaining fitness, sharpness and appetite. Coupled with this is the need to rest and store up reserves of energy, so the taper makes a lot of sense. The HH stuff I've read recommends 8 miles for the weekend before the race, with just a couple of 2 or 3 milers in the week of the race itself. Hard to do, but worth it.
